My nephew also has Aspergers, so I know the challenges it can bring . . . .

Sounds like you may just have to bite the bullet and buy him some better kit darkdragoness1986 - with what he's currently using he's probably no chance of making the switch.

I know, I just don't know what to get him! He likes the thought of one he can adjust the settings on so would like vv/vw (after I explained a bit to him about them going from what I learnt on here) but neither of us know further than that. He's not looking at anything that would need too much faffing so rebuildables are out as he simply does not have time (often works 14+ hour shifts) I don't think I'll manage to do them as I have severe dyspraxia as well! It's gonna be enough for me to do the mixing!

You won't go far wrong with an iStick 30watt darkdragoness1986:

myepack.co.uk/istick-30w.html

This tank is a basic one, though the heads are easily re-coiled - our lovely prr would I'm sure happily do them for you:

myepack.co.uk/protank-2.html

I also still like and use the iClear 16, a top coil clearomizer so the throat hit is quite good . . . . and the heads are easily replaced:

myepack.co.uk/clearomizers/iclear-16-dual-coil-clearmiser.html

myepack.co.uk/iclear-16-dual-coil-head-1100.html

Again considered to be a little ' old hat ' now, but simple and faff free to use.

Cheers. I'll send him details of them and then get us both them when I get paid and see what he makes of them! I'm planning to get a selection of liquids to see what he likes as well! I've found I'll vape most liquids so any he doesn't like I'll probably use!

You're welcome . . . . don't go too mad on the tanks/clearo's though, until you find what suits you both/either of you. The iStick 30watt will be compatible with anything you choose in the future.

Spend over £40 at Myepack, then shipping is free.


DripDrop Vapour might be worth checking out for eliquid:

dripdropvapour.co.uk/

As could be Joosejuice:

joosejuice.co.uk/

I'll vape just about anything as well.

I don't know how long the offer will be on for, but www.vape-it.co.uk/Innokin_MVP_30_Black/p1950294_13669259.aspx might be worth looking at.

The MVP3 is a lot bigger/heavier than the istick 30, but you get better build quality (there's nothing wrong with the 30, mind) and a battery that will last a lot longer between charges. It can also be used as a power bank to charge phones etc. A bargain at that price!

Hi.

I'm looking into starting to mix my own liquids soon. I was wondering how much space the equipment needed for mixing would take up?

Also which kits do people recommend?

And what calculator to use on an android device as my phone/tablet are the only way I can get online!

TIA

Not too much space is needed. I cleared out a drawer to use and only half of it is full, and that was for every thing vape related that would look untidy if left on view.
I have some small size plastic storage containers from 'Wilco's' that i use for vape bits, 1 is used for all the bits i need when rebuilding, kanthal spools and the little bits a pieces you use when coiling and wicking.
A 2nd one is full of the 10ml concentrate bottles and syringes+needles, so they don't roll around everywhere. The 500ml bottles of PG,VG,NIC are the largest bottles i have to find a home for.
 

Thats the whole of my mixing supplies(not including what has been mixed). The NIC ive had for around 9 months (bearly made an impression) PG got same time and 1/4 left, when VG bottle gets low, I pop into Boots and grab a couple of their 200ml(vegetable glycerin) bottles and refill the larger bottle.(keeping the 200ml glass bottles to mix up larger amounts of what i use most).

Lasting longer between charges sounds good with him working such long hours and the added bonus of being able to charge his phone is very appealing as well! Will see what he says!

That's very helpful thank you! Being able to actually see sizes of stuff is a lot easier as I struggle to visualise stuff.

I received this yesterday and have been using it today, what a difference! We ended up agreeing that I would get one for me and he has promised to try it, that way if for some reason, he doesn't like it I haven't wasted money!

Old biscuit/ chocolate tins are a godsend for the mixer/ One or empty bottles, one for etra concentrates, one for steeping liquid etc.. Keep them old tins.

Just a thought darkdragoness1986 but HaroldTheBarrel has an mvp and protank for sale in the classified's, rock solid bit of kit imo.

[Deleted]

darkdragoness1986 re android e-juice calculators - this one is a little complicated to set up but once you have it set you can save the settings and you're good to go! It's what I use and I don't have the latest smartphone. And it's free! (bar the ads:P)

and yes HaroldTheBarrel's MVP and protank kit would set you up just nicely!!!

Looks like it's gone but also I can't pay by PayPal after I pulled them up on breaching their own t&c's and therefore refused to make a payment! They have banned me from having an account.

[Deleted]

can't you pay HaroldTheBarrel by bank transfer darkdragoness1986 - I'd pm him for the MVP still if I were you!

Heyas if you are on Android then my preffered mixing calc apps on Google play are.
Potv ejuice eliquid calc - limited to 4 flavours but you can double up
Liquix - fiddly but if you have patience very good
Ejuice calculator berlon burch - not as pretty but can add up to 7 flavours easily.

Always work in mils not drops as well as drops is very inaccurate as dropper size varies from each manufacturer.

He's put on the MVP thread that it's gone!
